Arlington’s heavy-duty Grounding Bridges and Grounding Bridge Clamps provide reliable intersystem bonding between power and communication grounding systems.

All handle multiple hookups of communications systems: telephone, CATV, satellite dish. All meet the NEC 2011 ground requirements.

Bonding and grounding are simple concepts, but, unfortunately, they’re also easily confused with each other. Definitions of one term often get wrapped up in the definitions of the other, and, before long, one can begin thinking the words are interchangeable.

“Grounding” refers to the creation of a path from electrical equipment to the earth. It is intended to protect equipment and help prevent fires that might occur due to high voltages resulting from lightning strikes, line surges or unintended contact with higher-voltage lines.
